For my eHow articles I chose to write a few quick how-tos for new parents to reference to in a time of need. Being a new parent can be hard, but with a calm approach many problems can be solved. I comprised my articles of the basics surrounding the care of an infant, but emphasize the importance of not rushing through any step and taking your time. eHOW, founded in March 1999, sought to provide clear instructions on how to do just about anything. Venture capitalist helped the company to raise just under $30 million, this includes General Electric and Fingerhut, just to name a few. Two years into their success the company successfully created hundreds of thousands of instructions that millions of people benefitted from using.

People are much more interested in watching an interactive video rather than reading with 2-Dimensional pictures for a step by step process.
